As the probe whizzes past, paint is already being dabbed, splattered and scumbled. The Pluto flyby is astounding everyone including artists.

Painting influenced by scientific discoveries has a long history we should explore some more one day here on Symbiartic. For now, here are a few works of #sciart that really stood out to me on Twitter, marking this historic event and the images from the NASA team and the New Horizons probe.
